Arturia's "Dist COLDFIRE" is an FX plugin primarily featuring a dual-engine distortion effect. Unlike typical distortion plugins, it allows for a wide variety of distortion sounds, not just simple distortion or saturation effects, but also sounds that drastically and destructively alter the sound, depending on the combination. A similar plugin would be Minimal Audio's "Rift 2.0," which features 30 types of distortion, and allows you to create original sounds by combining wave shaping, filtering, and modulation. Features and Key Functions: * Equipped with two distortion engines * Choose and route from 11 distortion algorithms * 5 routing options: Serial, Parallel, Stereo, Mid/Side, and Band Split * Routing balance slider to blend distortion A and B using a real-time visualizer * Pre- or post-3-mode dynamics module with compressor, multiband, and limiter * Feedback module * 6-mode Pre Filter per distortion engine, including Comb Filtering * 2-band post-filter for each distortion engine * Equipped with 6 assignable modulation slots, each with 4 modes (LFO, Function, Follower, 16-Step Sequencer) * Includes over 150 presets * A/B comparison function * Supports oversampling It's characterized by its ability to create sounds ranging from natural, warm overdrive to destructive distortion. Moreover, the FX chain is routed internally, so the operation itself is simple, making it appealing to intuitively create sounds. Dist COLDFIRE's distortion allows you to combine 11 types of distortion, such as emulated tube sounds and digital bitcrushing. Furthermore, by combining wave shaping, modulation, feedback, and compression, a wide range of distortion sounds can be created.
